The ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code extension includes tools
for developing on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
The extension adds several functions to your Visual Studio Code (VS Code)
implementation. You access these functions through the command palette.
Figura 1. Visual Studio Code command palette {#vscode-functions__table_s33_ftn_w3b__entry__2}

| Functionality | Description |
|-|-|
| Setup Now Workspace | Create the project folder to work with ServiceNow applications. For details on creating this workspace, see [Set up a workspace in VS Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/JtMTh6~l6ZVJNzYe4o4lTg "Using the ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code, create a project work folder to use as a workspace for ServiceNow applications."). |
| Activate Now Extension | Activates the ServiceNow extension. See [Activate ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/zsWkUZFYR~V3B49qr9PYJA "Activate the ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code to be able to edit applications within your ServiceNow instance."). |
| Create Now Project | Import existing ServiceNow applications to a Visual Studio Code project. See [Create a project in VS Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Xf8htmrxi6kKryWfCwqegA "ServiceNow applications are contained within a project in the VS Code IDE. Import an application from your ServiceNow instance with the help of ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code."). |
| Sync Current Project | During development, synchronize all files between VS Code and the instance. See [Synchronize the current project between a Visual Studio Code workspace and a ServiceNow instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lhSjexZzVvGN1N8F8r~O2Q "Synchronize files between the Visual Studio Code workspace (client/local) and the instance (server) bi-directionally."). |
| Sync Current File | Synchronize the current file you are working on. See [Sync the current file between a Visual Studio Code workspace and a ServiceNow instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_9qSbvALfN86C_0e22foAQ "Identify conflicting files and merge or overwrite the changes, between the current file in your Visual Studio Code workspace and your instance."). |
| Clear Credentials | Deletes the entered credentials in the Settings page. See [Clear instance credentials in Visual Studio Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/SuNJwrF2X7mNy41FTkwL6w "Clear the stored credentials of the current project from the system. User credentials (instance URL, user name, password) of a project are stored in the operating system credentials vault so that the user does not need to log in each time."). |
| Reset Project | Sets project to its original state. See [Reset a project in Visual Studio Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/W~YgR5N1d_Vl23bB6RUcCA "Reset the project to the state on the server by discarding all the local changes if you encounter any serious sync issues."). |
| Configure File Types | Modify the options selected in the metadata. Metadata determines which elements of your application you want to synchronize with VS Code. See [Import an application into Visual Studio Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wyarTiFXfveFPspbh_gcMQ "After you create a project, import an application from your instance into the project to begin editing."). |
| Add Custom File Types | Add file types to your project using the Custom File Types wizard. See [Add custom file types in Visual Studio Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KG3TL8wQs9QBJiSWJV~a9A "If you have work with file types other than the default types provided, you can add additional file types to your instance and edit them in ServiceNow extension for Visual Studio Code."). |
| Select Application | Switch between application within the workspace in VS code. See [Import an application into Visual Studio Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wyarTiFXfveFPspbh_gcMQ "After you create a project, import an application from your instance into the project to begin editing."). |
| Select Update Set | Select an update set. Changes synchronized to your instance are applied to the selected update set. For more information on update sets, see [Import an application into Visual Studio Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wyarTiFXfveFPspbh_gcMQ "After you create a project, import an application from your instance into the project to begin editing."). |
| Create New File | Create records in your application. For details, see [Create a file in VS Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/xZEokEhSvFBL3mwGd0xedg "Use the ServiceNow extension to create a new file for your application with your project."). |
| Global File Search | Find files within the instance. See [Search files on your instance in VS Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XZLT1WaHN~i8su_O9oIlQg "Search and download any script files on your instance using the ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code extension."). |
| Run Background Scripts | Run a background script on your instance. See [Run background scripts using VS Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CsQbvBN8N8x6_aYwr5v3_w "Run scripts from your ServiceNow instance in VS Code using the ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code."). |
| IntelliSense | An IntelliSense code-completion aid available for Glide APIs. See [IntelliSense in VS Code](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/TfVum8r9RRSXtxuw35jERg "The IntelliSense code editing feature in the ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code extension provides intelligent code completions which provide auto-completion options to make writing code faster and more efficient."). |
